3D Wire Head

I enjoyed the wire head making once I got the hang of it because when I got the jaw in I figured out where everything went and in proportions. I used the spot welder to connect everything together and used thinner wire to create more detail and I could fix them without using the spot welder so that added more detail as well. A few years ago I visit Yorkshire Outdoor Gallery and some remembered about these giant metal heads and I found out that Jaume Plesna was the artist who made them.

Life Drawing

I was really nervous about life drawing at first because I had never done anything like it before. The first drawing we did was point and line in HB and the second was point and line in pen with tone and the last one was a using willow charcoal with tone.

Printmaking – Dry point print

When we did this we etch our face with a pattern on it onto a sheet of plastic then we rolled ink on it then put it through the printing press with paper on top of it then the ink would transfer the etching of our face on to the paper we did it with different types of paper like graph paper, coloured paper and with different materials like yellow leather. But the problem with printing on the material was that the material would sometimes slip and smudge the ink if there was too much ink on it so it would ruin the print. But sometimes the smudge would come out well.

Photography

We were doing narrative photography so photos that tells a story. I researched artists like Duane Michals and Cindy Sherman. My story was Aaya running round the college campus with balloons. After we had taken the photo we went into the darkroom and developed and enlarged the images onto the film paper. I really liked using the darkroom because I have never had any photography experience before I started college.
